| Description: |
Emily Dickinson proved that brevity can be beautiful. Here is her
complete oeuvre--all 1,775 poems--available in its original form,
uncorrupted by editorial revision, in one volume. Thomas H.
Johnson, a longtime Dickinson scholar, arranged the poems in
chronological order as far as could be ascertained (the dates for
more than 100 are unknown). This organization allows a wide-angle
view of Dickinson's poetic development, from the sometimes-clunky
rhyme schemes of her juvenilia, including valentines she wrote in
the early 1850s, to the gloomy, hell-obsessed writings from her
last years. Quite a difference from requisite Dickinson entries
in literary anthologies: "There's a certain Slant of light,"
"Wild Nights--Wild Nights!" and "I taste a liquor never brewed."
